Award-winning theatre company Punchdrunk join forces with the Doctor Who team to create an unforgettable new show especially for MIF 2011. Punchdrunk are world famous for their immersive theatre spectaculars. Following their sold-out, smash hit ‘It Felt Like a Kiss’ at MIF 2009, they return to thrill and amaze in what will be one of the most talked about shows of this year’s festival.
In ‘The Crash of the Elysium’ children become the stars of an exhilarating live Doctor Who adventure.
There are two different types of performance of The Crash of the Elysium – Children Only Performances and Family Performances – see the web site for full details http://mif.co.uk/event/the-crash-of-the-elysium-a-punchdrunk-show-for-children-aged-6-12/
Located at Salford Quays on the banks of Manchester’s historic ship canal, Peel Media’s bespoke community also features one of the biggest HD studio developments in Europe; 400 apartments; a Holiday Inn and a brand new tram stop in the heart of a spectacular five-acre piazza. MediaCityUK has been designed around the specific needs of the media and creative industries – the vision is to become a world class hub for innovation and content creation.
Midas was delighted to receive the call and be part of this epic event. Contracted to supply all mains cabling and distribution, although our first time at the MIF, it was great to see many familiar faces on site. Unfortunately that stay on site was only brief as the contract is only ‘dry hire’ however we know the kit is in good hands and wish all connected with the show and the Festival at large all the very best.
